As a jewelry company, it has a fascinating history and it also provides a great business model. The company produced an A line, B line and C line.rather like the stocking of retail stores today.
I must admit that I am quite surprised at how large most of the pieces are.some might find them garish but some are truly beautiful.
Another designer for the company who made outstanding jewelry was Richard Clark. It was very interesting to read about the craft of jewelry making as well as how an excellent company survives during hard times such as World War II when they could not use metal. He even approved the way that the employees dressed in the showroom.I guess Abercrombie & Fitch took note. He showed up for work everyday in a top hat with a silver tipped cane (I would have hired him for that alone). Frank was a very private man who maintained tight control over his designs and work. Shortly after opening her company, Frank Hess, a window dresser from Macy's, joined her and provided the company with artistic flair.he was a great colorist! Most credit Miriam with the business savy and Frank with the creative talent. She founded the company in 1926 in NYC and it still exists today because it makes the finest costume jewelry. Used textbooks do not come with supplemental materials.In the heat and humidity of yesterday, I ventured out to the library and took out a beautiful book about Miriam Haskell and her jewelry company.
